Xiao Wu's brows furrowed deeply, and his heart was shocked.

He had already vaguely felt that there was something he didn't know about, gathering hundreds of thousands of bandits, and the cottage was not big, could this be done by someone on purpose? Is it Dong Ne? Is it for meritorious service? Or is it for money?

However, Dong Ne is already the governor of Zhengerpin, and his status is still above the chief officials of the provinces, and he is a real feudal official! Moreover, he used to have a good official reputation, so why did his temperament change drastically as soon as he arrived in the northwest?

Xiao Wu looked at Yao Tianxi deeply and said in a deep voice, "What do you want?"

Yao Tianxi took a deep breath and said slowly, "Gather 200,000 rebel troops and break through Anxi Mansion." Then go to the northwest for a hundred miles, in the desert, choke the trade road to the far west, and build a city to defend itself!"

Xiao Wu narrowed his eyes, and even the peeping technique worked, and he said slowly, "What is the construction of the city to defend itself, do you think that these 200,000 bandits are the opponents of the Northwest Frontier Army? You have a grudge against Dong Ne, right? Even if these 200,000 bandits besiege Anxi City, the elite division may block a charge?"

Seeing that Yao Tianxi was about to speak, Xiao Wu stretched out his finger and shook it, and continued, "Even if you Yao Tianxi are talented, if you command Ruoding, you will finally break through Anxi City. Of these 200,000 people, how many people are left? Build a city to defend themselves? Hehe, joke. Yao Tianxi, do you still want to lie to me since you know that I led soldiers?"

Yao Tianxi's eyes were a little flustered at first, but when he heard the end, he became indifferent.

Xiao Wu looked at Yao Tianxi steadily, "So, who are you?

Yao Tianxi knelt on the ground, raised his head, showed an indifferent expression on his face, and looked directly at Xiao Wu. He seemed to be reminiscing painfully, and he seemed to be smiling, and his voice sounded a little erratic.

"I was originally a staff member of the Governor's Mansion, but my wife and daughter died at the hands of Dong Ne. The daughter is only nine years old, and Dong Neyan and her daughter are the same age, playing in the house. I don't want to be dismembered and killed! My wife reasoned with him, but she was beheaded in court. ”

Yao Tianxi's eyes were red, and he shot a light of hatred, "I have a grudge against Dong Ne, but there are 200,000 people in this camp, all of them have been separated from their wives and left their hometowns, who doesn't have an enmity with Dong Ne? Heaven will not accept it! I will collect it myself!"

Xiao Wu took a step back, horrified in his heart! Is what this man said true? Dong Ne, is he such a devil-like person?

Because the Xiao family entrusted military power, he had heard Xiao Zicheng evaluate this person as "brave and resolute", is this Dong Ne? Is there anything wrong?

Xiao Wu made a decision, he put away the generalissimo's seal, and said to Yao Tianxi, "Gather the bandits, don't move lightly! Wait for me to come back!" After speaking, he had already left the camp.

Xiao Wu was silent all the way. However, the distance of a hundred miles is only a moment for Xiao Wu, who has already entered the shadow body realm. When he saw the heavily guarded Anxi City, Xiao Wu took a deep breath.

The walls of Anxi are tall, and the sergeants on them patrol back and forth, as if they are facing a great enemy. Xiao Wu had the intention to directly identify himself to visit, but he was a little uncertain in his heart, and summoned the unearthed boar to sneak into the city.

Taking advantage of the cover of night, Xiao Wu caught the husband in the city, and with a few words of intimidation, he asked Dong Ne's residence, and then swept away.

Dong Ne and his family lived in the Governor's Mansion and did not purchase a separate mansion. The Governor's Mansion was not difficult to find, and after the husband said the location, Xiao Wu knocked him unconscious with one punch.

Xiao Wu walked downstream in the Governor's Mansion. Although patrols here are tight, mortal means are basically useless to Xiao Wu. Especially under the Earth Escape Technique, almost all mortal defenses are ineffective.

After Xiao Wu entered, he began to use his peeping technique to scan all parts of the Governor's Mansion. After all, it was already early in the morning, and most of the people in the Governor's Mansion had already fallen asleep, except for the routine patrols.

Xiao Wu had the intention to find Dong Ne's location, or find some letters to fold, or see if Dong Ne had a lot of money. However, after searching underground, I did not find any treasures in the Governor's Mansion except for the official treasury.

Xiao Wu's heart is a little calm, Dong Ne is not greedy. What is the situation of imposing taxes? Is it a reckless act on the part of subordinates?

Xiao Wu's heart suddenly moved, and a faint light came into view. At this time, it is dark, and a little light is also conspicuous.

Xiao Wu moved the earth pig under the room, and saw a mighty man standing in front of the window, looking out at the night through the open window lattice. It should be a study room, which is furnished with all kinds of books, articles, the four treasures of the study, and so on.

The man was nine feet tall, his face was slightly dark, three feet long under his jaw was supple and drooping, and his limbs were thick.

Xiao Wu was slightly stunned, if the slightly dark face turned red, it was Second Brother Guan's sense of déjà vu.

Xiao Wu made up his mind, "This is Dong Ne's ......"

Dong Ne seemed to be waiting for something.

Xiao Wu didn't move, just waited quietly.

Dong Ne sighed softly, his eyes deep. It seems that he is not in the habit of talking to himself, and he may not be able to know what will happen to Dong Ne tonight.

And Xiao Wu was not anxious at this time. He had already explained that Yao Tianxi's troops were eighty miles away, although it was not far away, but he was guarding Dong Ne's place, and if he wanted to send troops, he had to hold a pre-war meeting first, right?

After waiting for a long time, someone outside the door said, "Governor, the scout has information." ”

Xiao Wu's heart moved, and a scout captain was ushered in, it was the leader of the squad who was snooping outside the camp.

The scout entered, and the guard left. The scouts gave a general picture of the camp, the bandit army of 60,000 people had camped eighty miles away, and the camp was quite orderly, not as chaotic as before.

Dong Ne listened, frowned and nodded.

The scout made some observations about the composition and strength of the army, and finally said, "No banner in sight." As for whether it was led by the generalissimo of the Shang army, we have not been sure. Just scratching his tongue, he said that the leader was an immortal master. ”

Dong Ne asked this person to leave, and called the commander of the personal guard, and asked to call the general of the Governor's Mansion early in the morning.

Xiao Wu was helpless, this person did not leak, it seems that he can only listen to how the pre-war meeting will be arranged tomorrow. However, the military situation is like fire, and this will be discussed until dawn, at least it shows that there is no urgency at present.

Dong Ne returned to the window and continued to look at the starry sky in contemplation. His gaze was a little distant, Xiao Wu really couldn't equate this sad man with the wicked man in Yao Tianxi's mouth.

The two of them went up and down all night.

Dong Ne simply washed his face and walked towards the lobby.

Xiao Wu was also underground, following him forward, inferring the next action in his mind.

There were more than a dozen people in the lobby of the Governor's Palace, three civil officials, and the rest were military generals in armor.

Dong Ne first introduced the situation of the bandit army, and then said slowly, "Our detailed work has been passed out, and the leader may be the generalissimo of the Shang army. Let's talk about the specific countermeasures. ”

The generals were silent.

A civilian official said, "Governor, if it is really the generalissimo who commands the army, our army should not have to be cleared, after all, the generalissimo has made great achievements, and he has not committed any crimes with Minqiu this time, so he will not endanger the security of my northwest." Maybe, really go to the depths of the Northwest Desert to build a city?"
